Authorities Seeking Missing Ripley Man Last Seen in Mid-July

RIPLEY, Miss. – Local authorities are asking for the public’s help in locating Christopher “Chris” Broughton, a 65-year-old Ripley resident who has been missing since July 15.

Broughton, who lives in the Martindale Lane area, was last seen driving a Buick sedan on the day he disappeared. While initial reports described the vehicle as tan, family members say it was a maroon Buick and note that it is not registered in his name.

Standing about 6 feet 2 inches tall with dark hair, Broughton has not accessed his bank account or recent deposits since mid-July. His daughter says his rent has not been paid, his phone was disconnected due to nonpayment, and attempts to reach him now go straight to a full voicemail box.

Family members have filed a missing person report with the Ripley Police Department and have been covering his rent and phone expenses in hopes of helping locate him.

Anyone with information on Broughton’s whereabouts is urged to contact the Ripley Police Department at 662-837-2215.
